Boeing and Akasa Air, a low-cost carrier in India, have announced, at Paris Airshow, an order for four additional 737-8 jets. This brings the total number of 737-8s that Akasa Air has on order to 76. The new aircraft will be delivered over the next four years and will help Akasa Air expand its domestic and regional networks.
Akasa Air is the world's fastest-growing airline and has already grown its fleet to 19 airplanes since it launched operations in 2022. The 737-8 is a fuel-efficient and versatile aircraft that is well-suited for Akasa Air's growth plans.
The 737 MAX family is a popular choice for airlines around the world because it offers greater range and fuel efficiency than older-generation airplanes. The 737 MAX is also a quieter airplane, which is important for reducing noise pollution.
Boeing has seen strong demand for its 737 MAX airplanes in recent months. The company has received more than 1,000 orders and commitments for the 737 MAX since July 2022. This reflects the value of the 737 MAX family and its ability to meet the needs of airlines around the world.
